Rum manager

At the end of the 1930s, in Génipa, in the south of Martinique, Pierre-Marie de La Vigerie found himself at the head of the great distillery of Rivière-Salée, the "cathedral of rum". The succession of his father, a master respected by all workers, promises to be difficult.

    Will Pierre-Marie one day be a great stage manager? Probably, if he does not sacrifice his love of the "cluster" to the demon of profitability. The young béké also knows that his legitimacy rests on a mystery that his father has always hidden from him: that of his birth. An enigma to which everyone around him knows the key... Rum, as Raphaël Confiant tells us, is not only made of cane. He is also the soul of the men and women of Martinique: Chabin Rouillé, "the locomotive brakeman"; Simon "the Terrible", the intractable landowner; Mamzelle Doriane, "the male-woman" of the plantation; and then Laetitia, the beloved, with "dark velvet skin". Negroes, békés, coulis, mulattoes, cutters and moorers, workers and foremen: they are the heroes of this abundant fresco, begun with Commandeur du sucre.
